Abstract

Recent approvals of TRK inhibitors have demonstrated the success of a tumor agnostic approach to oncogene-targeted therapy across cancers. Collective data from acquired resistance studies suggest that resistance mechanisms, which include both kinase domain mutations and bypass signaling via RTK-RAS-RAF-MAPK pathways, frequently recur regardless of tumor type, oncogene, and drug.
